Effect of Rib Cage and Spine Mobility on Maximum Breath-Hold Time

• Conditions: Healthy Participant
• Interventions: Device: Spinal mouse (idiag m360); Behavioral: chest circumference measurement; Behavioral: Maximum Breath Hold Test; Behavioral: Sit and Reach

• Registration Number: NCT05520216
• Lead Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi

Brief Summary

In this study, it was aimed to look at the effect of rib cage and spine mobility on maximum breath holding time. To determine the relationship between spine and rib cage mobility level and respiratory capacity.

Detailed Description

The demographic information of the participants (gender, age, height, body weight, body mass index, occupation, dominant extremity, education level, marital status) will be questioned with the Demographic Data Form to be created by the researchers. Except for the demographic data form, the breath-holding capacity of the participants will be evaluated by measuring the breath-holding times, and the thoracic cage mobility will be evaluated by measuring the chest circumference during normal respiration, maximal inspiration and maximal expiration. The curvature of the spine, the presence of kyphosis and lordosis will be measured using the Spinal Mouse (IDIAG m360) device, which is an objective measurement method. The flexibility of the spine and indirectly the mobility of the rib cage will be checked with the sit and lie test. The results of the evaluations will be recorded.

A consent form stating that they are healthy female and male volunteer participants aged between 18-25 years old and who meet the inclusion criteria will be filled in to participate in the study. After the consent form is signed, clinical evaluations will begin.

Study Design: Experimental nonrandomized field study
